Agree...One of the trade shows I go in for in March takes up something like 40% of the rooms in Vegas, and they're all booked well in advance. There are other shows that month that also suck up a lot of the rooms. Throw in March Madness and the general vacationers escaping the cold, and there are definitely better months to go there.

I would hardly call March a "hot" month in Vegas...Come with me in August when I'm there for 8 days...I'll show ya' hot!
